A high school currently require students to purchase a parking pass in order to park in the parking lot, but for the coming year they are considering letting all students park for free. They send an email to all families enrolled at the school asking them whether they think their students would be likely to drive next year if parking were free. What kind of data source would the responses be?

a. Simulation
b. Experiment
c. Survey

C. Survey

Explanation:

Let’s define these three terms:

- simulation: this is essentially where a scenario is created to mirror an actual real-world situation. Here, that doesn’t apply, so this is wrong.

- experiment: this is a scientific procedure used to determine something or conclude something. Here, it’s not a scientific procedure, so this is wrong.

- survey: a questionnaire is sent out to receive responses. That’s the case here because of the email.

The answer is thus C.

Explanation:

Step 1:  Determine what type of data source is being used

A simulation is a way to model random events, such that simulated outcomes closely match real-world outcomes.

A experiment is any procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes, known as the sample space.

A survey is a data collection tool or list of questions used to gather information about individuals or group.

I think that this is a survey because they send it out to students, to take a "survey" and answer whether they would like to have free parking or not.  Therefore, I think that this kind of data source we be a survey.

 Option C, Survey
